G.I. Joe:

Red Dog (version 1) was released by Hasbro and was first released as part of the sixth series (1987) in a special Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades three-pack.

Accessories:

Red Dog came with a brown backpack and a dark gray .45 caliber pistol.

Biography:

The Renegades have no official status. Their movements and activities are virtually unrestricted. They don't get any credit when they succeed and everybody denies knowing anything about them when they fall. Red Dog could have had a pro football career as a barefoot placekicker if a defensive lineman hadn't ground his cleats into the big Samoan's obtruding toe. The lineman ended up with a broken helmet and a concussion. Red Dog was suspended for excessive roughness. He later worked briefly as a stuntman in "B" movies until he was recruited by G.I.Joe Command.
